Person

カジャンガラの比丘尼で、村人たちが仏陀の与えた簡潔な教えを詳しく説明するよう頼んだとき、見事に説き明かしたため、それを聞いた仏陀から大いに称賛された。

A nun who lived in Kajaṅgala. Once when the Buddha was residing in the Veḷuvana there, the inhabitants of the village went to her and asked her to explain in detail what the Buddha had taught them in brief. This she did, and when the matter was reported to the Buddha, he praised her very highly (A.v.54 ff). The exposition given by her is quoted in the Khuddakapāṭha Commentary (pp.80, 83, 85). Her story is given in detail in the Avadānasaṭaka (ii.41 ff).
